This is the AmeriKKKa that’s always been and too many people claim not to recognize.

Plenty of white people will celebrate someone pissing on the memorial of an ASSASSINATED non-violent leader.

But we’re not a racist country.

These ppl will let everything burn to the ground before they give up their comfort. Hell, most of them would rather go to their graves before they do.

Reed and Whitehouse will never go against anything the military wants what since General Dynamics is one of the biggest employers in the state.

"The NDAA vote provides insight into how far most congressional Democrats are willing to go in opposing Trump’s culture war fascism and use of troops on domestic soil..."
